it's like the harry potter movies, there are many more to come. can you imagine if tmz had been around when clinton was the president? we'd probably have bottomless pictures of him. [ laughter ] it's actually pretty common to see shirtless photos of our political candidates. i'm sure you remember this photo of president obama not wearing a shirt in hawaii. of course, there's the republican candidate and former magic mike huckabee. meanwhile, mitt romney is refusing to release more than the first four inches of his torso, though he insists he has nothing to hide. you know, there are a lot of cute animal videos online. probably too many. this is the best one i've seen in while. a boston terrier named tito playing in the park as dogs are expected to do. this isn't a tennis ball this is a big ball which is why i call this video "little dog big ball."
